Join us for an inspiring conversation with Most Rev. Bryan Joseph Bayda, CSsR, Bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Toronto and Eastern Canada and Chairman of the Ukrainian Commission of Youth of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

Bishop Bayda shares the remarkable story behind welcoming more than 30 groups of young pilgrims to Rome—many travelling from war-torn regions of Ukraine. As head of the Patriarchal Commission, he reflects on their courage, resilience, and the witness they offer to the global Church.

 “These young pilgrims are not just coming to see Rome,” he says. “They are witnessing to the world the depth of their faith and their hope, even in the midst of great suffering.”

 A moving testament to faith under fire—and the light young people carry into the heart of the Church. Tune in for a story of hope, endurance, and profound spiritual strength.

Welcome to the 11th episode of BETHANY BREAKFAST with Mimi and Chiara Toone, where we take another look at the topic of beauty, and talk about how women are image bearers of God's beauty.

We ask questions about the aspects of God women manifest, and the objective truth that women are beautiful, because we were made by and in the image of God.

BETHANY BREAKFAST is a space to listen, to laugh and to ask questions about being a Gen Z Catholic woman. Join sisters Mimi and Chiara Toone for reflections on scripture, to hear special guests and to find answers to questions about the joys and challenges of being Catholic women in a new generation.
